AddModelToTask(TaskName, NewModel, ModelData=None, ModelPriority=- 1)

This function is responsible for passing on the logger to a module instance (model), adding the model to a particular task, and defining the order/priority that the model gets updated within the task.

Parameters

• (str) (TaskName) – Name of the task

• (obj) (NewModel) – Model to add to the task

• ModelData – None or struct containing, only used for C BSK modules

• (int) (ModelPriority) – Priority that determines when the model gets updated. (Higher number = Higher priority)

Returns

ConfigureStopTime(TimeStop)

Set the simulation stop time in nano-seconds.

CreateNewProcess(procName, priority=- 1)

Creates a process and adds it to the sim

Parameters

• (str) (procName) – Name of process

• (int) (priority) – Priority that determines when the model gets updated. (Higher number = Higher priority)

Returns

simulationArchTypes.ProcessBaseClass object

CreateNewTask(TaskName, TaskRate, InputDelay=None, FirstStart=0)

Creates a simulation task on the C-level with a specific update-frequency (TaskRate), an optional delay, and an optional start time.

Parameters

• TaskName (str) – Name of Task

• TaskRate (int) – Number of nanoseconds to elapse before update() is called

• InputDelay (int) – (depreciated, unimplemented) Number of nanoseconds simulating a lag of the particular task

• FirstStart (int) – Number of nanoseconds to elapse before task is officially enabled

Returns

simulationArchTypes.TaskBaseClass object

ExecuteSimulation()

run the simulation until the prescribed stop time or termination.

InitializeSimulation()

Initialize the BSK simulation. This runs the SelfInit() and Reset() methods on each module.

SetProgressBar(value)

Shows a dynamic progress in the terminal while the simulation is executing.

ShowExecutionFigure(show_plots=False)

Shows in what order the Basilisk processes, task lists and modules are executed

ShowExecutionOrder()

Shows in what order the Basilisk processes, task lists and modules are executed

createNewEvent(eventName, eventRate=1000000000, eventActive=False, conditionList=[], actionList=[], terminal=False)

Create an event sequence that contains a series of tasks to be executed.

disableTask(TaskName)

Disable this particular task from being executed.

enableTask(TaskName)

Enable this particular task to be executed.

setAllButCurrentEventActivity(currentEventName, activityCommand, useIndex=False)

Set all event activity variables except for the currentEventName event. The useIndex flag can be used to prevent enabling or disabling every task, and instead only alter the ones that belong to the same group (for example, the same spacecraft). The distinction is made through an index set after the _ symbol in the event name. All events of the same group must have the same index.

setModelDataWrap(modelData)

Takes a module and returns an object that provides access to said module’s SelfInit, Update, and Reset methods.

Takes the module instance, collects all SwigPyObjects generated from the .i file (SelfInit, Update and Reset), and attaches it to a alg_contain model instance so the modules standard functions can be run at the python level.

Parameters

modelData – model to gather functions for

Returns

An alg_contain model that provides access to the original model’s core functions
